IRON MAN 2 trailer is everything you expected

I don’t think that anyone can honestly say they are disappointed with the recently released Iron Man 2 trailer. Those who were keen to lavish it with glorious praise and love it to pieces are doing just that as it delivers glimpses of War Machine and Whiplash in full swing.

Those who are still ragging over the first movie and were not excited about an Iron Man 2 film (let alone a trailer) are equally impressed in that it seems the general trend of the first film will carry over into the sequel with no worries– which means they get to roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders, point to the trailer and say ‘see – more of the same’.

Well, yes. More of the same, indeed. I’m sure Marvel and Paramount hope it does more of the same business, too – Iron Man took over $585 million at the box office worldwide in 2008.

I think this trailer goes a long way towards selling the film to those who might be on the fence about seeing it. There’s plenty of stuff to look forward to that is glimpsed in the trailer, including slow-motion car smashes, saucy ladies, witty humour and what appears to be a ferocious robot/machine battle (presumably from the climax).

I found the trailer simplistic yet effective. Stock yet original (content-wise). It made me smirk. It made me tilt my head with intrigue at the Whiplash character. In fact, I have say it raised my interest in seeing the film (releases May 2010) because I am largely looking forward to Mickey Rourke’s performance coupled with Robert Downey J.

It also seems the idea that Scarlett Johansson is just eye candy is confirmed via the trailer. Take a look for yourself:
